Charles Alexander GRANT

[DaveHam9]

We would expect RC burials for Joseph and Mary but it seems not Rookwood.

Rita at crematorium Rookwood and don't know about Charles, but not buried at Rookwood RC.

Strange that no trees found yet?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

No sign of a tree.

Middle name still looks more like Eva. The first letter is not like the 'A' in Alma.

This looks to fit the above? So possibly not yours..

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Now I'm confused.

1884 marriage Joseph D. to Mary Sweeney.

John Joseph/Joseph John is the son of Joseph D.

Charles born 1890 to J J and Mary Sweeney ??

Even though we keep finding bits, seem none the wiser..

Going for a while, Dave.. Will ponder it.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Time for lunch.

Dave

 

[horse]

Time for lunch.

OK, Dave..

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

1924 marriage has carpenter not upholsterer.

I know what gibbo would say. It's one of my typical topics.

Dave

 

[horse]

1924 marriage has carpenter.

Yeah, I tried to rationalise that too, upholsterer may be close if he also made chairs?

Geoff

 

[horse]

I know what gibbo would say. It's one of my typical topics.

Would certainly be correct this time

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

If it's the right Maggie then we have a brass finisher. ??

But ... identified by son, John Joseph Grant.

The 1924 marriage has John Joseph not Joseph Dordan.

 

[horse]

So which Mary Sweeney is that in 1903? Post #33

Geoff

 

[horse]

The 1924 marriage has John Joseph not Joseph Dordan.

Charles was probably as confused as we are!

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, Geoff.

Has to be 2x Mary Sweeney. One married J D and one married or didn't marry J J.

The birth of J J ?
